MANILA, Philippines — Muntinlupa Rep. Ruffy Biazon pressed his colleagues in the lower chamber on Monday to pass the proposed Faster Internet Services Act (FISA) following its approval at the committee level. ADVERTISEMENT“Being competitive worldwide would also require us to update the quality of internet service that is delivered to the people,” Biazon said in a statement. “This means that Filipino internet users, even those in the countryside, will no longer get intermittent and slow dial-up speeds in kilobits per second (Kbps). The lawmaker added that the FISA would also require telcos and ISPs to investigate and address complaints within seven days of receipt of the complaint. Telcos and ISPs will also be required to refund subscribers for services they fail to render.
